Will you be trying some transfers with the gel medium? I have yet to do that very successfully, in spite of studying Lesley Reilly's instructions...<br /><br />I actually think the snail decorations on eco-dyeing book a beautifully simpatico embellishment!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254503312795252536.post-33193557274849456652014-05-28T15:53:10.294+02:002014-05-28T15:53:10.294+02:00you are very fortunate. it's

And Welcome Django, gypsy dog who soon will be wandering down roads and trails and byways and sniffing and jumping and racing and dancing because of course, he is a jazzy dog.<br /><br />Now your garden, oh how I would love to go, forage bag in hand, looking, touching and with permission, snipping a few leaves here and there. It is a magical place you have, so green and so many plants to choose from and admire. <br /><br />Yes, weeding, well, I do it out front of our home due to the gravel. Out back, we have gravel as well but not many weeds grow there. We do have a patio area that has big red slabs of clay rock and tiny pea sized gravel color of clay so when the assorted green weeds pop up, I leave them, like the contrast.Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01305881181604750937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254503312795252536.post-50947120265720765262014-05-26T19:47:26.713+02:002014-05-26T19:47:26.713+02:00thanks for the beautiful garden & studio tour ...thanks for the beautiful garden & studio tour Saskia! "The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating" changed our world last year, we can't kill snails any more in the gardens we look after, when they are doing a lot of damage we gently put them in a different part of the garden where the plants are sturdier. <br />Australian book artists Inga Hunter & Adele Outteridge collaborated with snails awhile back, here's an article Inga wrote about their Collaborata Mollusca<br />http://www.ingahunter.com.au/about-inga-hunter/ingas-articles/collaborata-mollusca<br />with more photos of the work here<br />http://www.ingahunter.com.au/artists-books/books-gallery/collaborata-mollusca/viewMo Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004208849028911104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254503312795252536.post-77096204018198470012014-05-25T16:11:25.279+02:002014-05-25T16:11:25.279+02:00You have been busy!
